4.8.14 Physiological respiratory parameters ( PRP )
Siaretron4000e
The physiological respiratory parameters must be set by the clinician in
STAND-BY mode before activating the necessary operating mode.
The system allows you to set default PRP (Main Menu - DEFAULT
PARAMETERS) suited for ventilating an adult patient.
WARNING !! Patient injury hazard
Depending on the chosen ventilation mode, the same PRP can be a
dependent variable (that varies depending on other parameters
modification) or an independent variable (a value that if modified, affects
the values of other parameters).
The PRP can also be adjusted while the lung ventilator runs, adapting
them to the patient's clinical situation.
The parameters marked with BK are referred to the BACK-UP operating
mode.
RR BK (bpm) : Back-up respiratory rate, used when an Apnea condition
arises to activate a controlled ventilation mode.
CPAP (cmH 2 O)
Continuous positive airway pressure during respiration phase.
Flow (L/min)
Flow value during inspiration phases.
I:E
Ratio between inspiration and expiration phases.
RR (bpm)
Lung ventilator respiratory rate.
RRsimv (bpm)
Value of forced respiratory rate in SIMV mode.
